Ill start here, a while back I remember going into Wild Card in the after noon, and I saw Mario Lopez talk some new kid into sparring with him of which I beleive Mario is about 190 he told the kid he was 160 the kid was about 145 or so, he promised the kid to go light in sparring and guess what happend when the bell rang?
He charged the kid and knocked him the fuck out, well okay down but he was hurt badly the kid got up and tried to finish the round assuming he just got caught with a good shot, Mario knowing the kid was hurt didnt care he went right after him again and hurt him badly dropping him with a nasty left hook.
I hate to see shit like this in the gym I mean knock downs do happen but usally its due to some fluke sparring is supposed to be so that one can work on basics ect... I just couldnt beleive that Mario would do something that fucking low.
anybody else see shit like this in the gym? Honestly its shit like that, that turns me off to the sport.
stick around a gym long enough and you'll see people go into the gym thinking they can throw down with boxer who have been there for months
That shit happens all the fucking time, I mean people come in with the old I once boxed before story and then the shit really starts they brag about having an undefeated record etc.. once they get in the ring they get exposed and they usally dont come back to the gym after the beating they get.
I hate to see when people do that becuase you already know just by the way they move around in there that they dont have any experience, and it makes me a bit worried when I see them gearing up to spar, its almost as if I go to the fridge and get the ice ready for them.
There was a kid who came in telling me he boxed in the marines and that he was 16-0 as an amateur then I over heard him telling one of our amateurs there that he was 13-0 I wasnt shocked though I knew he was full of shit, he kept asking the other trainer there to let him spar with my kid, and finally he got his wish and damn near got dropped by a jab, seriously his legs were like wet noodles and he is 13-0 or 16-0 what ever he never came back thats for sure.
I rememeber hearing a story of how James Toney shoved Micheal Katz down in the gym because they were talking shit to each other. It messed up Katz neck pretty bad he had to wear one of those goofy neck braces for a long ass time.
only bad thing ive ever seen is a 200+lbs russian being told to keep the power down, then almost crushing his 135lb sparring partners face with a right hook
:ugh: You should consider a different proffesion if that seemed like a hard punch.....when it missed........
:)
On Topic, I loved it when I was made to spar with a guy about 10 years my senior and had at least 6 or 7 years experience on me. Good times.
It seemed hard but I "skillfully" evaded it (not)
Would you be talking about "muscle man" Dan by any chance?
Damn that session was tough but was a good learning experiance and actully very fun.

It appeared pretty "through the target" to me lol....I cant remember the incident that well to be honest so I'll just nod and agree with you.

An off balance shot i threw while moving to the side wouldnt have hurt that much.
1-2-3!!!!

It didn't appear that light when it went toward my head lol.
Although I guess it may of just been fast...bet it still would of hurt if i ran into it tho.

I'de call him a crazy bastard but i wouldn't call a missed light punch a big right hand :rofl:

Oh behave. He nudged you towards a light right hand that missed anyway.
I know cause i was the one that threw it.
you'd be moaning if he did it to you! lol
My trainer trying to push me into a big right hand...seriously!
that and a boy who looks like a girl lol.

mario lopez is a little bitch...was this in san diego? unfortunately he's from this bitch
This was at Wildcard Freddy was the ref it was an exhibition event freddy holds there from time to time.
They baby the shit out of Mario becuase he brings in people who have money to pay the trainers there more than the normal monthly gym dues.
Here's Lopez in a fight. Just like the guy in this thread described.

Rare footage you should keep it, the only reason you have this video on the net is becuase Alex the guy he fought in the exhibition bout, has not been at wild card more than six months while Mario has been there for about 12 years.
but its good to see Mario fighting on his level isnt it? you will never see him in a video sparring Panda a light weight who would rattle his ass in the gym from time to time.
did you notice the head gear he uses , the mother fucker needs all the help he can get.
I have witnessed some bad shit in the gym like cuts and people getting their asses handed to them, KO's and shit like that but there were two that stick out.
The first is when a black girl wanted to spar with is Mexican kid and she got KO'd the fuck out, I mean out cold.
The second was two guys were going at it pretty bad and one got hit with a body punch and actually shit himself in the ring. Nothing came out but you could smell it and he took off for the bathroom.
Which is funny because the same shit happened during football practice when I was in highschool.......guy got hit and crapped himself. Funny as hell.
Mario is a bithch in my eyes if he takes advantage of new guys. Not to mention the guy was smaller than him also. What the fuck does that prove?
#1 the guys new.
#2 the guy is allot smaller. WTF
LOL that's fucking awesome, AC Slater was my favorite character of Saved by the Bell, I could relate to him being latin at all. Is he a Chicano? I heard he is not really Mexican, he's Guatemalan or some shit. Anyway cool shit about Mario, I would like to see him spar.
Mario is Chicano and his parents are from Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico (same place as JC Chavez) so maybe fighting is in his blood.
He's actually pretty good and I have heard through fight circles that he could have been a very good pro if he wasn't into the acting thing.
I also read an article where he sparred with James Toney and didn't get beaten too bad, actually held his own. The funny thing was that I read that Toney told him he hated Mexican's and that he was insulting Mario's mother while they were sparring......funny stuff but true.
Mario seems like the type of cunt to do something like that. If he was so great and had so much confidence about his skills, he would've become a fighter. Instead, he's just a sparring partner for Manfredo. Sweet.
Mario should go back to hosting shows like Pet Star.
